"Now after that brutal start" Ganondorf began after clearing his throat "we now get to see the elusive sheikah warrior face off against the goron giant, Riknumo!" The crowd gave a big cheer as the two fighters made their ways into the arena. Link sat down, resting his head on the palm of his hand, curious about who out of the two would win.
Riknumo stomped up to the middle of the arena before facing Ganondorf with a large grin plastered on his face and bowed, before again turning to face his much smaller opponent. The sheikah calmly stepped up to face Riknumo before turning in the direction of Ganondorf and elegantly bowed. Before the man could even look back up Riknumo had already sent his extraordinarily large sledgehammer hurtling towards him. A large cloud of sand covered the blast area, after a while it cleared to show the sheikah had dodged last second leaving the hammer to crash into the floor and cause a massive crater to appear. The sheikah sent a glare towards the goron that was now heaving his hammer off of the ground, the goron simply laughed at his face.
"What? We were told that as soon as we paid our respects we could start fighting" Riknumo shouted out happily. The sheikah huffed before pulling out a kunai and prepared to launch himself at Riknumo. Once again he was beaten to the punch as before he could even set off, Riknumo was in the air above him intending to slam his sledgehammer into the sheikah. Widening his eyes the sheikah dashed forwards underneath the falling goron, before swivelling around to see that Riknumo had struck the landing and was pulling his hammer out of the ground again. How the fuck is he so fast? Was the thought that flew through numerous peoples heads.
Fed up of always being on the defence, the sheikah flew towards the goron that had his back turned and had just managed to lift up his hammer. The sheikah timed his slash just right so that the second the goron turned around his eyes were slashed out and was sent tumbling backwards. Not letting up he kept attacking, stabbing and cutting all over the gorons body, when all of a sudden the gorons hammer flew into his face and he was sent flying to the other end of the arena. The goron started laughing as he watched through what was left of his eyes, he showed no signs of pain despite the numerous wounds inflicted on him, he waited for the right time during the sheikahs onslaught to swing his hammer and smash it into the man's face.
"So you must be the Ganondorf Link's told me about " Midas spoke as he walked into the royal watching area, hands in his pockets. He was trying to seem calm as the man turned to face him, although the sweat dripping from his forehead showed that the heat was still getting to him.
"And you must Midas, you're a bit late, but don't worry you've only missed one fight and it wasn't Link's" Ganondorf smiled, seeing Midas let out a breath he had been holding.
"Thank god…..look, not that this view isn't amazing and all, but I was kind of hoping I would be able to be with Link in his waiting area" Midas said, staring directly into Ganondorf's eyes. The man simply chuckled.
"I know, but it's against the rules for anyone but the fighter to be in the waiting area, so I decided instead of making you stay in the normal stands you could come up here and get a much better view" Midas seemed to accept this, no matter how much he didn't want to as he sat down next the Ganondorf leaning over to watch the current fight.
The sheikah slowly stood up, blood dripping from his face, he got into a stance and froze up for a second before relaxing and easing back into his fight stance, a blue aura now surrounding his body in beautiful waves of energy. The goron took a step back with widened eyes. Before he could even blink, the sheikah was in front of him mid-air and sideways, sending a kick to his face that snapped the large gorons face back with such force that for a second the sheikah assumed his neck had snapped. Fortunately or unfortunately his neck hadn't snapped and instead he was only sent flying into the floor. All of a sudden the ground beneath the goron rose and he was sent into the air, face first into an axe kick from the sheikah slamming him right back down. The crowd began cheering and screaming, not used to seeing someone control the elements like the sheikah had just done, as the goron laid there dazed and confused.
Plunging his kunai down, the sheikah was ready to take the gorons life, however, just as the kunia was about to pierce Riknumo's skin it was stopped by an orange sphere that had sprung out of nowhere and was now covering the goron completely. The sheikah, slightly caught off guard, couldn't dodge Riknumo's left hand that swung up clobbering him away. The goron slowly got up staring across the arena at the sheikah that was now swaying where he stood after standing up, with renewed vigour and speed Riknumo blitzed behind the sheikah and was already half way through the motion of swinging his hammer at the nape of the sheikahs neck. Before the hammer could hit its target Riknumo was slapped in the face by a roundhouse from the sheikah that had snapped out of his daze, the orange forcefield took the damage from the attack for the goron, but if you looked closely you could see that there was now a slight crack from where it was hit. A plan was starting to form in the mind of the sheikah.
Riknumo dodged backwards out of the way of another kick that was thrown at him, only to take a large sand spear from behind. The sheikah had flown through hand signs in the time it took for him to dodge backwards, Riknumo's forcefield now had a large crack in its defence on his back which the sheikah intended to fully crack open. Riknumo flew forward again going for a horizontal attack, time seemed to slow down for the sheikah as he jumped up and onto the long handle of the sedgehammer, using it as a stepping stone to jump over Riknumo. Landing and swivelling around, he sent three more sand spears into the gorons back, finally managing to completely destroy the shield, one of the spears stabbed into Riknumo's back causing blood to spurt out all over the ground. The giant fell to his knees as the spear in his back fell back to its original state as sand on the floor, jumping up and over Riknumo, the sheikah sliced open his right shoulder making him drop the hammer. Landing in front of him, the sheikah pointed his kunai at Riknumo before speaking.
"You're strong and you fought well, it would be stupid to take your life so I ask you to forefeit" His voice rang out through the arena as everyone was silently anticipating Riknumo's response.
"You're a formidable enemy, little man, I will forfeit, but only if you tell me your name" The sheikah seemed taken aback, but smiled and let out a small chuckle before replying.
"My name is Arno" with that the fight was over as the crowd erupted into shouting and cheering, some people even booing, but that was only because they had lost their bets.
"Quite the fight, wouldn't you say?" Ganondorf asked, turning to Midas who was half way through devouring his fourth drink, Midas finished off the rest of his drink before replying.
"It was pretty good, but in all honesty I don't really care about any of the fights that don't involve Link" Midas said with an almost bored look on his face. Ganondorf laughed heartily at the comment before standing to address the arena and crowd now that both Arno and Riknumo had left the arena.
"Now my friends, after that invigorating fight we now have the beautiful gerudo warrior, Tokan!" The crowd let out cheers and whistles. "Up against Zeka, the zora champion!" Once again cheers erupted around the colosseum as the two fighters made their way into the arena. Tokan made her way into the centre of the circular arena and bowed to her king, Zeka followed suit before they both turned to one another. Before the crowd could blink, the two fighters had dashed for one another and were trading blows. Tokan's scimitar clashing with Zeka's trident, Zeka clearly over powered Tokan in terms of sheer strength and they both knew this. Tokan saw an opening in Zeka's defence and went for it, stabbing towards his collar bone only for her scimitar to be batted away and get smacked in the face by the pommel of his trident. Zeka followed this up with a left hook sent to her temple, she managed to duck under it at the last second and dashed to the left side of him.
Once again she tried to stab at him, this time at his undefended side, but again before she could land her strike she was batted away by Zeka's massive scaly arm. As she was dazed from being hit in the face by his forearm, he brought his other arm and thrusted his trident forward, aiming for the woman's gut. Tokan managed to side step the attack, but was still just barely caught by it, a slight cut appearing on her stomach. His trident still in the same position it was from his last atack, Zeka swung left towards Tokan, with speeds that made it sound like he was slicing the air itself. Instead of dodging again, Tokan blocked the track with her scimitar, shocking Zeka that she had the strength to do so. She brought her right leg up, kicking sand into the large shark man's eyes. He took a step back and quickly brought his hand up to try and clear his eyes, whilst his other hand began swinging his trident in front of him madly in an attempt to keep Tokan away.
His attempts at keeping Tokan away were for nothing however as the second he had taken the step back she had already dashed around him, she stabbed up into his shoulder blade, however, her scimitar merely seemed to bounce off. In her confusion she didn't have time to dodge the attack he sent her way after regaining his eyesight and turned around. She was punched in the face with Zeka's fully powered left hand and was sent flying. She flipped mid-air and skidded on her feet as she landed. Zeka grinned wildly at her from the other end of the arena, the sunlight glistening off of his skin and that was when it clicked for her. His skin was just so tough that she wouldn't be able to properly stab or slash at him to wound him.
Stabbing her scimitar into the ground she knelt down and grabbed a handful of the blood soaked sand and began chanting in ancient gerudo tongue. Zeka and most of the crowd froze and frowned at the woman, confused about what she was doing, whilst all of the gerudo people began ginning manically, knowing exactly what their sister was about to do. Her chanting seemed to get louder and louder the longer she went on, before it was echoing around the colosseum. After a while Zeka had gotten over his confusion and dashed for the woman, bringing his trident up to strike down at the kneeling woman, but he had taken too long to attack, she was done. Tokan sprung up much faster than she had been capable of doing a minute ago as she kneed Zeka in the face sending him back to the other end of the arena.
Waves of purple energy seemed to radiate off the woman and for a second Link thought she was using chakra, but banished that thought, he could sense that the woman wasn't using chakra, but whatever it was, it felt familiar to Link. Zeka slowly rose from where he was on the floor and looked up to see that Tokan was nowhere in sight. Had she run out of the arena? No, she had just all of a sudden became strong she wouldn't run, was the thought process of Zeka. All of a sudden he heard a loud slump and looked down to see that his arm that was carrying his trident had fallen off his body, dashing forward he only barely managed to dodge another attack. Tokan had somehow managed to seemingly teleport across the arena and slice off his arm. She stood calmly, her arms at her side as if this was all a walk in the park. Blind with rage, Zeka did quite possibly the dumbest thing he could have, he charged at Tokan. Before he took his second step Tokan was in front of him with her scimitar at his neck, the blade radiating with unknown energy.
"Forfeit this fight now and I will not end your life, but continue to struggle and I will take your head as a trophy for the sand goddess" Tokan's voice had also massively changed, it sounded as if multiple other voices were overlapping with hers. Zeka trembled as he shook with fear, before he nodded and dropped to the floor.
"I forfeit" With that, another fight was over. The crowd began cheering as the two fighters left the arena, Zeka cradling his severed arm. Link ws slightly shocked at Tokan's massive personality change and the weird power she showed.
"That was the power bestowed upon the few chosen gerudo champions by our goddess, when she began her chanting, that was her praying to the goddess and paying respects. The only bad thing with it is that the power changes you, makes you more sadistic for example, however the more you use it, the stronger it becomes and the greater control you have over it" Ganondorf spoke as he turned to face Midas. He slowly rose as he once again spoke, "It's time" Midas gave a confused look as Ganondorf once again began addressing the crowd.
"Another exciting and bloody battle, however don't think it's stopping there, for now we have the war veteran royal knight!" The crowd gave a cheer as the man began silently making his way to the arena. "And Link Uchiha Ruiken!"
